Laboratory for Life and Law
Matters related to life and law are not somebody else’s problems
Ethical issues related to life arise as technologies make a rapid advancement in modern society. Our laboratory conducts research on such ethical issues from legal perspectives. For example, we study prenatal diagnosis, assisted reproduction, brain death/organ transplant, and terminal care by comparing Japan’s legal situation with those of France and other nations. We also examine issues related to intellectual property (patent, utility model patent, design right, trademark and copyright, etc.) on a global scale.
